Royal County Down

European Tour

Royal County Down is the first golf course to make a list and is widely considered as one of the top links, if not the top, in the world. Golf here is like none
other and indeed requires a poised athlete to manage the steep terrain. Located in Northern Ireland, Newcastle, this iconic establishment is approximately one-hundred-twenty-eight years old and
has been around since 1889. Therefore, Royal County Down is one of the most past golf courses in Ireland and still to this day maintains a 75 rating. Geographically, the landscape is vibrant as
part of the Murlough Nature Reserve with mountains in the backdrop and a stunning ninth hole that is among the most photographed on earth.
